Poker video game to feature top pros

By Lianne Elias

World Championship Poker 2: Featuring Howard Lederer will now include seven additional pro players and poker experts, Crave Entertainment recently announced.

The company, which develops and produces the game, has signed exclusive deals with these pro players, ensuring fans that their likeliness will not appear in any other game.

The new line-up includes namesake Howard Lederer and his sister Annie Duke. Also featured are WSOP 2004 Main Event champion Greg Raymer, as well as Clonie Gowen, Amir Vahedi, Paul Darden and Robert Williamson III. World Series of Poker tournament director Matt Savage will also have his likeliness duplicated in the highly anticipated video game sequel, which will incorporate the distinctive playing styles and character traits of each pro into the digital characters.

World Championship Poker 2 will be available on PlayStation2, PSP and Xbox for $19.99.
